This course will review in detail clinical examination and management of cervical spine joints, from occipito-atlanto complex to cervicothoracic junction. This will include examination and treatment using combined movements, mobilization, and high-velocity manipulation.
A major focus of this course is to demonstrate and practice a safe approach to performing high-velocity cervical manipulation. The latest information on aspects of safety including Cervical Artery Dysfunction (CAD) and ligament stability testing will be incorporated.
Clinical reasoning in relation to cervical conditions will be covered. Case studies will be used to facilitate the teaching of clinical reasoning. A significant amount of time is given to ensure a high level of technical competence by the end of the course.
